FDL Book Salon Reminder: Bill Scher Today

I am so pleased that Bill Scher will be joining us for an FDL Book Salon on his book Wait! Don't Move to Canada: A Stay-and-Fight Strategy to Win Back America today, on December 3, 2006, at 5:00 pm ET/2:00 pm PT. Bill is the Executive Editor at Liberal Oasis, and appears regularly on Air America as well.

Bill's book is fantastic — and a lot of the ideas in it give you hands-on approaches to tackling political problems and demanding accountability from your elected representatives. (It's as though Bill knew the Bush Administration and the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress wasn't doing it's job, somehow.)

Please stop by and talk shop with Bill during the book salon. I'll be hosting the discussion — and we'll be talking politics and ways to make our elected official more responsible and accountable to all of us. After all, they work for us, and not the other way around. Hope you can make it!
